APA Heritage Month is nationally recognized and celebrated in May, but we are going to put our own spin on it and host it as a week before our Culture Show!! We are really excited, because this is the first time that ASA has hosted a Heritage Week. We will need a lot of help and involvement from the everyone in ASA, but it’ll be a great growing and bonding experience. :)

As an APA Heritage Week Committee member, you will be doing same things as the Co-heads, but instead of planning the show, you will be planning the events of APA Heritage Week. This committee and the Culture Show Co-heads will be working TOGETHER to create an meaningful and cohesive theme for APA Heritage Week and the Culture Show.

Both positions are a great opportunity to get more involved in ASA; You will gain valuable leadership and teamwork experience as you work with each other and the board to engage all of ASA and the Bryn Mawr community. We encourage anyone with interest, ESPECIALLY freshman and sophomores , to apply!
